Kaffir Lime / Bergamot · มะกรูด

Meet the Ingredient

Kaffir Lime, also known in Thailand as Thai Bergamot and Makrut (pronounced mah-kroot), is deeply meaningful to us because it brings together everything we believe in: Thai herbal wisdom, care that begins at the root, and a close relationship with the growers behind every ingredient. We choose organically and sustainably grown limes, cultivated without synthetic chemicals, because the quality of every ritual begins with the purity of what goes into it.

Across our hair, scalp, face and body rituals, kaffir lime helps cleanse, refresh and restore. It works within our best-selling hair care to support softer, silkier hair and a healthier scalp, while our Detoxifying Herbal Mask and Herbal Body Scrub revitalises dull, tired skin back to a soft, healthy and youthful glow.

Kaffir lime has been valued for its naturally powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and antimicrobial cleansing properties for generations.

When applied to the scalp, its detoxifying qualities clears away built-up chemical, bacterial, and environmental residue that clogs and dries out hair roots or causes dandruff. The naturally occurring antioxidants reduces the appearance of age marks by slowing the breakdown of skin cells and minimize the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and acne.
